Autumn is here, golden leaves are falling <br />over England's green valleys and dales <br />and my sad eyes forever look back dear <br />to the days of our sweet fairy-tales. <br /> <br />My heart belongs way over the hill <br />where the red rose is blossoming still; <br />for close by your side, love was so true <br />in the valley of dreams, <br />where I once lost my mind over you. <br /> <br />Autumn is here; your kind voice is calling <br />with a wonderful evergreen song... <br />but deep down in my heart I know dear <br />those days of our young love have gone. <br /> <br />One day, I'll return to the house on the hill <br />when blossoms each spring daffodil <br />and each hour I'll be walking beside you <br />in the valley of dreams <br />where I once lost my mind over you. <br /> <br /> <br />National Poetry Day - 9 October.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-autumn-my-love/
